"What do you think of that human Elder Tang's words?"
City Lord Gao Ansheng asked indifferently. His eyes glowed with green light, as if a ghostly fire was brewing in the depths of his pupils.
If the humans of Green Sun City saw City Lord Gao Ansheng's aura, they would definitely be scared half to death. He should have been the protector of humanity, the ruler of Green Sun City.
But now, he had unknowingly been possessed by a Dark Ghost and turned into a Dark Ghost puppet. If news of this spread, it would definitely shake the heavens and earth. If even the human headquarters had been invaded by Dark Ghosts, where else in the world would be safe?
And it seemed that it wasn't just the City Lord who had been possessed by a Dark Ghost. Many of the elders had also become food for them.
It could be said that all of Green Sun City had been riddled with holes and had unknowingly fallen into the hands of Dark Ghosts.
"It's possible."
A Dark Ghost nodded. "According to Master's information, the reason he was able to kill Dark Ghosts is because he controls Hellfire, which can harm the essence of our Dark Ghosts' souls.
This kind of power is not something the humans of this world can control. In other words, he must have come from another human world. That human elder's guess is seventy to eighty percent likely. "
From all the signs, it had to admit that Elder Tang's guess was very likely.
"If that's the case, then this human cannot be allowed to live."
A cold light appeared in Gao Ansheng's eyes. "If he opens a path to another human world and leads a large army of human reinforcements to this world, then wouldn't our Dark Ghosts be in grave danger?!
And who knows how strong that human world is? If everyone is as powerful as this Xia Ping, then our Dark Ghosts will probably be driven back to the Infernal Realm. That cannot happen. "
He clenched his fists, his voice resolute.
"Don't worry, Master has already given the order to kill. This human must die."
"But this human is very powerful, able to kill over a hundred Dark Ghosts. He won't be easy to deal with."
"That's right. If we attack, not only will we not be able to kill him, we might even be killed instead."
"That's not a problem. The reason I agreed to that human's request and tolerated everything was to numb his mind, to make him think that I am a weak and easily bullied person, to make him lower his guard.
After a few days, when his wariness is completely gone, I'll deliberately arrange a banquet and poison the food. Then, I'll be able to silently poison him to death and completely eliminate him. "
"Not a bad plan. That human will definitely die. However, what I fear the most is that the human will notice that the food is poisonous. If he discovers it in advance, then he will fail on the verge of success. I'm afraid that he will be unhappy."
"That's not a problem. I've already made preparations for both sides. According to Master's orders, over a thousand Dark Ghosts will arrive at Green Sun City one after another. They'll set up an inescapable net.
Even if that brat wasn't poisoned, facing the ambush of over a thousand Dark Ghosts, he would have died without a doubt. It can be said that I had already calculated everything. No matter what, that human would have died. "
"My Lord had originally planned to come here to completely kill that human and eliminate any future threats. However, my Lord needed to guard Mount Formless to prevent other Ghostly Kings and Fiendish Demons from ambushing him and snatching the entrance to Hell from him.
Otherwise, why would we need to mobilize so many people and have over a thousand Nether Ghosts lying in ambush? Just Master alone would be enough to kill that brat dozens of times. His soul would be extracted and tortured, living a life worse than death. "
The Dark Ghosts discussed the matter, their killing intent surging as they made all kinds of plans to kill Xia Ping.
City Lord Gao Ansheng's gaze was cold and filled with confidence. It was as if he could already see Xia Ping being killed by him.
… …
Several days later.
Xia Ping had already read most of the books in the City Lord's Residence's Scripture Pavilion. He finally understood some things about this world's cultivation system and the mysteries of this world's human cultivation.
It had to be said that the cultivation techniques of this world's humans were very profound. They could use Nether Energy to its fullest extent and could kill Dark Ghosts and Giant Fiendish Demons. They were incredibly powerful and specifically targeted the soul.
However, there was also a huge flaw. Those who cultivated Nether Energy would often be corroded by Nether Energy, causing their bodies to be damaged. As a result, the lifespans of this world's cultivators were not very long.
After all, Nether Energy was the power of Hell. It was not something that ordinary people could control. If humans tried to control it, they would be punished and their lifespans would be shortened. Many of the experts in this world were short-lived.
However, it was not that there was no solution. As long as one cultivated a special body-tempering technique and tempered their body to the point where it could withstand Nether Energy, they would be able to freely control Hell's power.
The problem was that the body-tempering techniques of this world were very ordinary. They could not be tempered to the point where they could withstand Nether Energy.
More importantly, body-tempering techniques required the support of large amounts of precious spirit herbs. This world was lacking in resources and did not have that many spirit herbs. This caused the body-tempering techniques to be very backward.
No wonder the people of this world have such short lifespans. Even Golden Core Realm experts only have a few hundred years of lifespan. Xia Ping was enlightened. He finally understood a bit of this world's mysteries.
It was precisely because humans had short lifespans that they had never produced a top expert. At most, they could reach the Golden Core Realm. As for experts above the Returning Truth Realm, they were basically legends.
Although this world's cultivation techniques were very backward, after tens of thousands of years, they had still produced many powerful martial arts divine powers that used Nether Energy.
Xia Ping was very interested in two of these divine powers. One of them was called Nether Ghost Hand.
This divine power was very powerful. It was a divine power that an expert had created after observing a Dark Ghost. By circulating Nether Energy, one could condense a Nether Ghost Hand and use it to pay the enemy back.
Once this divine power was used, it could immediately injure a Dark Ghost.
It even had a powerful effect on humans. The body would be fine with a single palm strike, but the soul would be damaged. If the soul was not strong enough, it would immediately dissipate.
It could be said that this was an extremely terrifying divine power. It could ignore defenses and directly attack the soul. It was a bit similar to the Dark Ghost's ability.
The other divine power was the Soul Binding Chains.
This divine power was not a killing divine power, but a support divine power. It used Nether Energy to condense into chains that could bind a living being's soul.
If this divine power struck an enemy, it would follow them like a shadow and lock onto their soul. Even if they were tens of thousands of miles away, they would still be tracked.
Moreover, this divine power had a powerful restraining effect on all sorts of strange races in the universe that had the ability to travel through space. Once bound by the Soul Binding Chains, it would be like encountering a soul reaper. There would be nowhere to run and they would be completely sealed.
The two Hell divine powers, one for killing and one for support, complemented each other.
After obtaining these two divine powers, Xia Ping acted as if he had obtained supreme treasures. He constantly cultivated them, losing track of time.
Perhaps it was because he had the Hell Golden Crow bloodline, but he was extremely familiar with these two divine powers. He learned them almost without spending much time.
